What's up everyone! Welcome to my build log!
Come on in, sit down, and grab a drink because I have nearly a HUNDRED pictures so far.
Time to introduce my rig:
Why call it the Buff Shadow?
Well, cuz it is gonna be swoll
And because my color scheme will be all black/silver. Mostly black.
COMPONENTS:
Lian Li PC-70B
E6600
x2 8800GTX in SLi
EVGA 680i Mainboard
2 GB Corsair Dominator 8500C5D
Raptor X + 1TB of storage
Soundblaster X-FI Xtreme Music (would have used my Fatal1ty with the drive bay device, but it would not fit... you'll see why later.)
Silverstone Zeus 850W
WATER COOLING SETUP:
x2 MCP355 DDC-2 with Petra's Top (in series)
Swiftech Storm
x2 MCW30 (chipsets)
x2 EK 8800GTX blocks
Thermochill PA120.3 (triple) radiator + 3 Yate Loon DS12SL with Silverstone 3.5 bay fan controller
Alphacool Bullseye/Cape Reservoir
1/2 Tygon R3603
+stainless steel wormdrive clamps
MODIFICATIONS:
Cut triple 120mm radiator vents on top
Cut drive rack for showing off Raptor X
Pain drive rack ^
Screw holes for mounting pumps
Paint and sleeve 850w Zeus
Paint/sleeve case cables
Sleeve pump cables
*NEW MOD:* I plan on cutting a diamond shape on the door panel of the case and replacing with it with a removable plexiglass window that is interchangable with the black aluminum via thumbscrews, so it will go into stealth mode. But that wont happen for a little while...
Between school, work, and everything else I have been at work on my newest rig for literally months. And it is still not complete. However, I am waiting only on only two things: my two EK 8800GTX waterblocks, and for me to paint and sleeve my PSU.
Here is the first round of pictures; I will comment on most of them:
Here is the case:
Of course, I knew there would be many days of no sleep coming. I had to prepare myself. I was up over the course of two days at one point, so I needed some stuff to keep me up. Here we have a 2 liter of Code Red and a 52 oz Slurpee, Pina Colada flavor
Some more snacks:
And here is my method of preparing the case to be cut:
Next, I will post all the supplies.
